Outagamie County Jail Overview
The Outagamie County Sheriff's Office Corrections Division operates Outagamie County Jail at the Justice Center in downtown Appleton. It is a county jail, not a state prison. The facility holds adult men and women in local custody, including people waiting for court, people serving local jail sentences, Huber or work-release inmates, electronic monitoring and GPS participants, and some contract prisoners from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. That mix makes the Outagamie County Jail roster useful, but it also means the current list has to be read with care.
The jail page describes the facility as a local corrections operation that provides medical, educational, emotional, spiritual, and nutritional services. Public jail lookup is split across two county reports. The current inmate list tells who is housed or otherwise in the local corrections system at the time of the report. The recent booking media report gives more charge and bond detail for the last booking window. Neither report is a full court file, and neither report shows roster mugshots.
The county's Corrections Division page is shown in this official facility source.
That source is the county page to use for the jail's role, Central Control number, mail address, and bed count before moving into roster or vendor services.
Outagamie County Jail Population
Outagamie County reports the jail as a 556-bed facility, and the public current inmate list generated on July 3, 2026 at 06:30:01 showed 401 total housed inmates. That count is a point-in-time roster figure, not a yearly average daily population. It should not be used by itself to claim the jail is or is not crowded because housing rules, classification separation, gender separation, medical needs, holds, and staff coverage can affect bed use below rated capacity.
The current list also shows local custody geography. Location values observed in the research included third, fourth, and fifth floor jail areas, pods, dorms, observation, hold, GPS, and DRC-style locations. Classification values included receiving, minimum, medium, and maximum levels. Those codes help explain why someone can appear in the corrections system even when not housed in a standard jail pod.
Outagamie County Jail Roster Lookup
The official Outagamie County Jail lookup is the county Inmate List page, which links to a public PDF called the Outagamie County Jail Inmate List. The county says the list is alphabetical, covers adult inmates currently in the jail, and refreshes every 30 minutes. It is not a database search form. Open the PDF and use the browser or PDF find function to search by last name or inmate ID.
- Open the official Inmate List page and select the linked current inmate list PDF.
- Check the report timestamp because the public list is refreshed on a schedule and support is tied to county MIS business hours.
- Use find-in-page or PDF search for the last name, then compare the full name and inmate ID.
- Read the location and classification fields as custody-management fields, not as charge or court-disposition fields.
- If the arrest is very recent, check the 24-hour media report or call Central Control before assuming the person is not in custody.
| Roster Field | What It Means | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| InmateID | Numeric jail identifier used on county reports. | Not a court case number. |
| Name | Last, first, middle name format. | No aliases shown. |
| Time Incarcerated | Time and date value tied to custody. | Not a sentence length. |
| Location | Jail floor, pod, hold, GPS, DRC, or similar code. | Not visitor routing by itself. |
| Classif | Receiving, minimum, medium, or maximum custody level. | Does not state guilt or conviction. |
The current list does not show charges, bond, mugshots, court dates, DOB, or a narrative booking report. For custody searches that need more context, the broader Outagamie County jail inmate records page explains how the roster, records requests, WCCA, and state locator fit together.
Outagamie County Jail Bookings
The recent-bookings channel is the county's 24-hour Jail Media Report. The county says it contains adult inmates booked into the jail within the last 24 hours and refreshes daily at approximately 6:00 a.m. The July 3, 2026 report reviewed in the research showed seven total inmates and seven total bookings. It also carried fields missing from the current list, including DOB, city and state, agency, statute, offense description, bail or bond, court case, and arrest type.
Use the media report when the question is about a new arrest, a warrant arrest, a bond amount, an arresting agency, or a charge line. Use the current roster when the question is whether the person remains housed in the jail system. A person can appear in the booking report and later be released before a reader checks the current roster, so the reports should be checked together.
Note: The county roster does not display booking photos; the recent booking report is a records report, not a mugshot gallery.
Outagamie County Jail Contact
Central Control is the main real-time jail information fallback. The county lists Central Control for inmate-information lookup and makes that line available 24 hours a day. The Sheriff's Office records counter is a different access point at the Goodland Drive office for open-records requests, adult arrest checks, warrants, citations, and report copies.

Outagamie County Jail Visitation
Outagamie County Jail video visitation is handled through GTL and GettingOut. The county's video visitation page tells visitors to register and schedule through the vendor, warns that visits are monitored and recorded, and states that inappropriate conduct can suspend or terminate the privilege. The Government Center map identifies Jail Video Visitation inside the Walnut Street campus, but the page should be checked before travel because the captured county page did not provide a full public schedule table.
| Visit Channel | Where to Start | Rules to Confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Remote video visit | GTL / GettingOut registration and scheduling. | Vendor account, cost, connection rules, and schedule. |
| On-site video visit | Justice Center / Government Center video visitation area. | Building entry, appointment time, ID, and conduct rules. |
| Attorney or professional visit | Call the jail or professional contact channel. | Current professional visit procedure and security screening. |
Outagamie County Jail Mail
Regular inmate mail for Outagamie County Jail uses the mail-processing address listed by the Corrections Division: Outagamie County Jail, WI; Inmate Name - Inmate #; P.O. Box 247; Phoenix, MD 21131. Books and magazines are treated differently. The research notes that magazines and soft-covered books may be ordered only through Barnes & Noble's website, subscriptions are not allowed, and those items ship to the physical jail address with the inmate named.
Money and phone services use GTL / ConnectNetwork. The county deposit page says ConnectNetwork deposits require the offender's first and last name, offender ID number, date of birth including year, and Site ID #178. The ConnectNetwork facility page lists AdvancePay Phone, Trust Fund, and Community Corrections services for Outagamie County WI Sheriff's Office.
The county deposit source is visible in this official online deposits page.
That vendor detail matters because Site ID #178 is part of the information a depositor needs before paying through ConnectNetwork.
| Service | Provider or Address | Important Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Personal mail | P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131 | Use facility name, inmate name, and inmate number. |
| Books and magazines | 320 S. Walnut Street, Appleton | Barnes & Noble only; no subscriptions. |
| Trust fund deposit | GTL / ConnectNetwork | Use Site ID #178 and the inmate's identifying details. |
| Phone account | ConnectNetwork AdvancePay | Vendor fees vary by service and payment method. |
Outagamie County Jail Transfers
A person in Outagamie County Jail is not automatically searchable in the Wisconsin DOC locator. The jail roster covers local custody, while DOC search covers sentenced prisoners and people under DOC supervision. After a prison sentence or a DOC placement, the county jail may stop being the best lookup source. At that point, use the Wisconsin DOC Inmate and Offender Search and confirm the listed location.
Sanger B. Powers Correctional Center is the state prison facility physically located in Outagamie County. It is a minimum-security DOC correctional center for adult male inmates, and it does not book new local arrests. A person moving from jail to DOC custody may eventually appear at a DOC facility such as Sanger B. Powers Correctional Center, but that lookup belongs to DOC, not the county roster.

The records unit accepts requests by phone during weekday business hours or in person at 3030 E. Goodland Drive. The research notes a printed-page fee of $0.25, a requirement that requests reasonably describe the record or time period, and possible redactions for DPPA information, medical information, juvenile information, and other protected material.
